I decided to extend my stay in Aveiro and booked this hotel last minute. The views from my room were stunning, overlooking the canal, and the room itself was clean and well-equipped. However, I was quite disappointed with the pool situation, as it often had aqua aerobics classes occupying it, leaving us with limited options. Dinner was buffet style, which wasn't what I expected from a 4-star hotel, and I felt that additional charges for using the pool were unacceptable given the high cost of the stay.

My experience at this hotel was mixed. The location, with beautiful canal views, was a major highlight, and I loved the heated pools, which added a wonderful touch to my stay. However, the service was quite frustrating at times, especially during check-in, and the restrictions on the air conditioning made it uncomfortable. Overall, it had its positives, but there are definitely areas needing improvement.

I spent a lovely time at this hotel, which has a great view and is conveniently located near several attractions. The rooms are generally quite nice, though I found them a bit cramped and had unexpected bed arrangements. The breakfast buffet was fantastic, with a wide selection. However, I was disappointed by the service, which felt a bit impersonal despite the efforts of the staff to assist.
